The allure of international travel is stronger than ever and with new hotel openings, natural sites reopening and a food culture rivaling other global cuisines, Thailand should be top of your travel list. With a forward-thinking strategy, Thailand continues to add a variety of offerings in 2024 with a blend of sustainable initiatives, enhanced transportation, captivating parks, world-class hotels and museums.

The grand opening of Dusit Central Park in Bangkok marks a significant milestone, connecting different parts of the city in an ambitious, mixed-use megaproject. With breathtaking hotels, luxury-branded residences and likely components, Dust Central Park is set to redefine hospitality.

Amid the wave of innovative hospitality projects set to unfold in Thailand, a series of stunning hotels takes center stage. Each offers unforgettable experiences and unparalleled luxury. New and existing hotels include Aman Nai Lert Bangkok, Fairmont Bangkok Sukhumvit, The Chedi Aquarious Koh Chang and Kimpton Resorts in Hua Hin and Khao Yai.

Thailand offers a sanctuary of natural wonders, and 2024 brings two exceptional parks to Bangkok. The King Rama IX Memorial Park serves as a living museum, recreational paradise and learning center, all honoring and celebrating the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s visionary projects. Lumpini park is also set to receive an upgrade in time for its 100th anniversary, offering even more lush greenery and engaging facilities.

Don’t miss out on exciting museums, either. Indulge in history at Museum for the Royal Cremation Ceremony of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej The Great, set to open its doors in 2024. The museum serves as a knowledge hub, preserving ancient and royal traditions for generations to come.

Down to Earth: Find Your Element for the Ultimate Customized Spa Experience at Chuan Spa

After a stressful pre-holiday season and a busy work schedule, there was no better time for a relaxing spa experience than during my recent trip to Pasadena with the FXExpress Publications, Inc. team. We headed to The Langham Huntington, Pasadena for the 20th anniversary of the GT Tested Reader Survey awards, which meant a jam-packed trip, but I managed to carve a little time out of our busy schedule to visit Chuan Spa at the hotel.

Come Face-to-Face with Mountain Gorillas on a Trek in Uganda

Not a word was spoken as I settled into a cozy spot on the outdoor terrace just outside the main lodge at Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge in Uganda. The air was so still the ice in my single malt seemed to echo off the forest in the distance as it clanked against the glass. I sat among a handful of fellow adventurers, each sitting silently beneath the night sky for one collective goal. Moments earlier, we learned a troop of mountain gorillas had made their way down the mountain near our lodge, and we left our meals to instead sit in eager anticipation of hearing the guttural grunts of the primates below. The chills on my arms never left me that night, even as I made my way up a stone pathway to my personal banda (guestroom). Thankfully, sleep came quickly for me that night as I drifted into dreams of what my next day would bring.
